There is something else I thought of. This happened to me a long time ago with an earlier version of RFB. I made an attack on a convoy of mixed ships and escorts; later I saw a small minesweeper that looked like it was burning. This was strange to me as I had not targeted any such ship, but thought maybe it was hit by a stray torpedo. After observing it over time, it became apparent that it was not really damaged, but that the smoke was just excessive. Instead of coming out the stack, it seemed to be coming out the middle of the ship. In other words, it was just a graphical imperfection.
